Donor-led investment growth

Despite decreasing government funding, agricultural research spending in Zambia grew by 70 percent during 2008–2014 as a result of a large influx of funding through a World Bank loan, associated with APPSA, and additional donor contributions. Despite this strong growth, as of 2014 Zambia only invested 0.51 percent of its AgGDP in agricultural research, half the 1 percent minimum recommended by the African Union and the United Nations.
